Novicej Neutral Newbie November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 I need to replace the airflow sensor of Sunny N16. Anybody got lowbung? Story: Everything was normal when I did the routine warmup before driving. All of a sudden, the car vibrate violently. I suspect it was the sparkplug got it changed, it became better but only for a shortwhile (10mins. So i visited the mechanic, they suspect its the air flow sensor - quoted $160 but they can't guarantee. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 What was the cause? How old is your ride? Did you do anything to your air intake? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 Ask them to point out to you where is the airflow sensor. Buy from stockist then replace yourself. Sure cheaper if that's really the cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohto Hypersonic November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 Maybe you want to try call autosaver to ask. Since they supose to be specialize in Nissan car. Their price should be cheaper than TC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlic 1st Gear November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 Yep, they have an ECU scanner for Nissan vehicles. Riverview Auto is another recommended place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 So not confirm it's the airflow sensor then. Better dun buy from Stockists like Teck Guan or Fong Tat. Suggest you go to Riverview Auto or Autosaver to check first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroomtattat 2nd Gear November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 Brudder! What is the airflow sensor for arhh? ( How does it affect your ride? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopoo Neutral Newbie November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 Change on your air filter wheather any choke correct me if i am wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 The airflow sensor should be right after the air filter. You can see something is plugged into the tube (between the air filter box and engine). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Basically it senses the amount of air entering the engine so it can tell the ECU and the ECU can adjust the air-fuel ratio to it's optimal standard. If it is spoilt or dirty, it means that the ECU can't detect the airflow. So I guess it will lead to hesitation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using electronic cleaner & spray the air-flow sensor to remove all the dirt. It may work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesedick 1st Gear November 27, 2008 Share November 27, 2008 hi there.
